In a world with the free movement of labour and capital, the quality of living is likely to increasingly become a key driver of the competitiveness of countries.

Boosting Italy’s potential growth

Any genuinely effective economic growth strategy for Italy should begin by acknowledging that we live in a world where policies and regulation structurally favours an increasing polarisation of the financial means of companies, to the benefit of ultra large companies, but the detriment of micro, small, medium and start-up companies. There are ways to partially correct this imbalance and we think there is a unique role for the State to play here in a country of the scale of Italy.
